The aviation industry in India faced a major upheaval as IndiGo Airlines cancelled numerous flights, stranding thousands, including several notable celebrities, at major airports across the nation, sparking widespread chaos and outrage.

Celebrity reactions on social media highlighted their frustrations, with actor-choreographer Lauren Gottlieb describing the situation as 'apocalyptic'. Her advice to potential travelers was clear: avoid flying with IndiGo for the time being due to the extensive disruptions.

Actor Jay Bhanushali shared his exasperation, resorting to Instagram to document his lengthy wait and sarcastically thanking IndiGo for his 'unplanned extended trip'. Meanwhile, singer Rahul Vaidya faced significant financial and logistical challenges, spending Rs 4.20 lakhs on domestic flights while questioning how he would make it to a planned performance in Kolkata.

Famed personalities such as Aly Goni criticized not only IndiGo but the entire aviation sector for price hikes by other airlines in response to IndiGo's cancellations. Such sentiments reflect a larger concern over the current state of India's aviation industry.

In response, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has mandated urgent actions from airlines, especially IndiGo, to swiftly resolve the immense schedule disruptions and stabilize service operations, according to an official statement.
